You know, i realize this kid is in a lot of trouble with the law, but looking at this story there're a few positives to be taken out . These kids were wasted and parked their vehicle and went to sleep instead of continuing to drive under the influence.

He spends the last few days in jail and still shows up for the star of OTAs on time.

I wonder if the media will spend anytime focusing on these positives.

They won't because it will not sell papers! But the guy had to go to the hospital. We do not know why. He was passed out in the car. Maybe he was slipped a drug? Maybe he was ill? Who knows? We sure don't. I still feel he is innocent until proven guilty. Perhaps after a real investigation is conducted he might be exonerated. Too many here as well as in the media are in a rush to judgement.

This kid needs to be made an example of. New regime needs to set the tone. Unacceptable behavior!

Illegal gun possession is not good but let me get this correct, you want us to cut this guy go over marijuana possession? Fire him because he smokes pot. Man, lets set the tone, Mr. Hannity, get rid of half the team. Anyone want to bet Rex has puffed before also. Its all such BS, its because we are the Jets and its the season to go after anything green and white.

you say "gun possession is not good," but then omit it from your next sentence, like it didn't happen, and he's being prosecuted ("persecuted") just for weed. I don't get it.

And, I'm in the "let's wait and see" camp. I hope it comes out that it was his dummy friend's gun. Regardless; bonehead move.

First and foremost, let us all understand the facts as we know them today, an this is in no way trying to make excuses or justify this type of behavior

This kid was IN THE BACK Seat and PASSED out. Question, was he so drunk when he entered the vehicle that he did not realize how drunk his "bodyguard " was.

The one sure positive,
He did have enough sence not to get behind the wheel and drive.

The negatives
He got that drunk in the first place
He is associating with known convicted felons
He has millions on the line and is possession of an illegal substance.
He is out at 3 in the morning in that
condition
An the worst of all, if he is in anyway attached to that weapon or had knowledge of it in the vehicle in the state of NJ without knowing the law.

So if you add them up I just don't see how the Jets can keep this kid on the roster much longer.

No! I want the Jets organization to change from a circus to one that commands respect. I want the Jets Franchise to be the type of organization that cuts a talented WR like Santonio Holmes instead of one that gives him a 50 million dollar deal.

Right now the Jets are still a team that nobody takes seriously. John Idzik is changing that perception (and reality.) Under normal circumstances I would want to find out exactly what happened before I got angry at this kid. But at this stage of the game we're still a joke and that's got to change. Our new GM needs to send a powerful message. Pot is no big deal. But getting caught passed out in a vehicle with a gun and weed in the middle of a friggin parkway demonstrates really poor decision making.

This kid has not shown us he's an all pro talent. He's shown us that he's a freakin moron.

Do the words "innocent until proven guilty" mean anything to you? We live in America. At the very least no decision should be made until the facts become clear. I hope you are never on a jury!

Actually I quite agree with you, most of the negatives in my post can be tied to poor judgement and nothing criminal, at this time. I have advocated all along getting all the facts before rushing to judgement. Yet, those negatives do add up and put this young man in a very bad light. Even if he is found innocent of all the felonies and issues a citation for the possession, he puts the club in a bad situation. I think you would agree the Jets are trying to change the perception many have of being some kind of NFL joke. Goodson action in this matter just feeds that perception.

No but I learned a long time ago to go slow. On meters like these. Facts have a way of being twisted etc. innocent until proven guilty!

You have a problem with that concept?

I have no problem with that concept. And yes, it may not be his gun. But it doesn't seem to be disputed that he was intoxicated and asleep in one of the active lanes of an interstate at 3:30 in the morning with a convicted felon. Even if, for the sake of argument, he did not know about the gun and the drugs weren't his and he is acquitted of all charges, he still is guilty of extremely poor judgment and this doesn't bode well for his commitment to football and the Jets.

I had the interesting experience of driving on the interstate in the midwest and circumventing two old ladies in a car going against traffic in the speed lane. I never saw a state highway patrol car appear so fast out of nowhere.

The only thing missing was a naked chick in the back from the local high school.
